Christine dirt
Christine Schmutz (born April 15, 1838 in Rappenau ; † April 12, 1906 ibid) was a German Mennonite who represented Templar views in her book Seeds of Truth from 1880 .
Life
Christine was the daughter of a Gemmingen-Hornberg landlord from Rappenau. There she received a strict Mennonite upbringing. In 1880 she married her widowed teacher Metzger. Otherwise little is known about her life. Her estate was initially kept by the artist Fritz J. Lindner, but was later lost.

In the year of their wedding, Schmutz published her book Seeds of Truth, written in 1879 the previous year , sprinkled for truth-loving hearts with prose, poetry and statements on religious topics, using simple common language according to her foreword .
In the seeds of truth , dirt refers to Argula von Grumbach and speaks clearly in favor of the pietistic temple society in one word about the Templar Cooperative . The book was accepted in the 1880 book report of the Mennonite Community Gazette, but Ulrich Hege criticized the author's erroneous path on behalf of the Baden Mennonite Elders' Assembly and found the book not to be recommended.
